I have just heard Lucky and his band in France at the Craponne country festival and they are amazing ! He is now known in France and it seems that he has been very much appreciated, by me the first.
He has a really nice voice and his own style. He was very generous on the stage and with the public. This guy has lots of talent, i hope he and his family take care of him ! i want to hear lots of his albums! on that point, from the two records i listened to my only disappointment came from the fact they are only 35 minutes long.
I Hope i will have the luck and opportunity to see him again on stage soon !
PS: i will listen to Hank III thanks to Lucky…

This review is a bunch of trash. I should have stopped reading with the snarky “sad but true” line about Hank3′s spreading of Lucky’s music. Hank is one of the only real revivalists of true outlaw country music. I’d rather swallow bullets than listen to that slick, polished, over-produced pop shit that dominates music row. I bought Lucky’s album at a show, and listen to it at least once a week. It’s awesome. Jon, polishing your skills has nothing to do with losing the raw sound. It’s all about feeling and emotion. Listen to the Johnny Cash American records albums. Stripped down, raw, emotional and his best work. BR5-49 are good, but have no grit what so ever. Those of you with actual taste should check out Lucas Hudgins, great country music with a hell of a voice.

This review grossly underminds Lucky’s songwriting and does not give the album enough credit. Lucky’s originals on this album exceed the covers except for Sweet Mental Revenge. And to not mention Damn the Luck?!? Did this reviewer really listen to the album? As usual, credit is not given where credit is due in country music. Lucky is right up there with Hank III, Scott H. Birim, etc. for real..real damn good, genuine country music. If one doesn’t go through the roof over this album, that one probably prefers modern day CMT/Nashville/American Idol type country bullshit…

This is for jim c, rick, jon,& anyone else that might have constructive criticism for Lucky. Go buy yourself a Garth brooks ticket & shut the @#&*up.You all don’t have a clue what Lucky Tubb is about,If it werent for Lucky’s Raw unpolished sound, we would have to tolerate a plethora of polished Nashville crap! This album like Generations, is on the money, Lucky Tubb is here to stay. Its a fantastic show & a rock-en after party.

Please, can someone put a moratorium on ALL name checking in songs. I used to think it was just Johnny Cash, but now its EVERYONE.

“I’d like to add that music wise the backup band sounds very amateurish lending a bar band feel to their overall presentation. A rippin’ steel guitarist could rally perk things up compared to the current simplistic noodling going on. This is a case of shooting for a raw, unpolished sound and getting carried away a bit.”

This is the fatal weakness in an awful lot of retro and quasi-old-time country, and I think it’s because too many people don’t understand that the acts they’re trying to emulate weren’t themselves shooting for a raw, unpolished sound; instead, they were constantly trying to improve their skills, to – well, to get more polished. For an instructive contrast, check out David Peterson’s new album, Coming On Strong; you can hear a couple of songs from the album on his MySpace page, http://www.myspace.com/davidpetersonand1946 (the first 3 or 4 are from the album, while the remainder come from an earlier bluegrass project). Of course, Dave’s a great singer anyhow, which helps ;-), but the musicians are an outstanding bunch who understand that “old school” is not a synonym for “rudimentary.”

Thanks Jim C! I went and listened to portions of all of Lucky’s MySpace songs and I’d still like to win a copy of his CD because I’m sure not going to pay for it. Like so many retro-country artists Lucky is just covering familiar ground in a predictable manner. He sounds like a mix of Ernest Tubb and Hank Williams SR. going through old catalog songs and doesn’t bring anything new to the table. BR5-49, and even unknown artist Dave Cox, have created far more interesting music than this using retro styles to develop a fresh take, and Junior Brown makes for a better E.T. style legacy progression. I can see Lucky working the club scene in Texas like Amber Digby and Miss Leslie, but I can’t imagine he will develop much of a fan base elsewhere, except maybe among Hank III’s fans.
